Career Growth Programs

4 Star Program is comprised of an elite group of Property Managers that have been accepted based on a proven track record of consistent results. This program was implemented to develop and retain the most qualified people that are crucial to the success of The Lynd Company. Once in the program Property Managers are required to complete all four phases in order to successfully graduate from the program and be eligible for promotion within the company. We believe that once a Property Manager completes all 4 phases, they are then ready to become a potential top-notch Regional Manager, Regional Trainer or a Department Head.

Phase (Star) 1– Mentor- Property Managers are assigned new team members to mentor for the first 60 days of employment.

Phase (Star) 2– Ambassador- Property Managers participate in the complete process of a Take Over, from the initial walk thru to final take over.

Phase (Star) 3 – Performance Trainer- Property Managers are required to give training classes to their peers throughout the year on various topics.

Phase (Star) 4 – Senior Manager- Property Managers are now given 1 to 2 additional communities to oversee while still being held accountable for the results on their own community.

Career Paths are designed for Leasing and Assistant Property Managers for those that want to advance in their career but not wanting to change their roles. Levels within the position have been created to offer growth within their position. The philosophy behind this is that some great Leasing Staff does not always make a good Assistant so we tend to lose a great leasing person because the only way to advance would have been to an Assistant’s. role. With this program they can continue to advance in the field they are most productive in.

The energy level is kept high during the conference to keep everyone focused on being successful and giving them the motivation to go back to their communities with the desire to succeed.
